A cloud of tiny flies hovering over one of the zinnias in the front garden, catching the last rays of the evening light.

My ground phlox (possibly Phlox subulata/moss phlox) has achieved blanket status.
I'm a sucker for mass blooms. A friend of mine has large swaths of this phlox & was kind enough to borrow me a cup 2 yrs ago. A cup that was 1.5' x 2' chunk that I then plopped down in a 1.5' x 2' space.
Easy peasy phlox carpet squee-sy.

I’ve not seen any #monarch #butterflies so far this spring but they’ve obviously been here. Spotted these two monarch #caterpillars yesterday on the one milkweed in my front #garden, a survivor that has regrown after dying back to the soil following our big winter freeze. Hope these make it to adulthood, the ones I saw last year disappeared before pupating.

Our other clematis vine is doing well & blooming like crazy. Didn’t even notice the caterpillar till I was looking at the photos later. Everything in the #garden does great here until about June when the blast furnace heat arrives.

Blue Dasher #dragonfly on a Red Yucca flower spike in our front #garden yesterday evening. Last year dragonfly sightings/photo ops at the house were very few and far between so I’m hoping this is a sign of better luck this year.

Some call it a weed, but for me dandelions are one of my favorite spring flowers.
Here is my tribute to dandelions - a pencil drawing from some years ago:

Touching my toms.
The siletz #tomatoes are doing well outdoors 👩🌾
When pruning your tomatoes - save some of the leaves to soak for 24 hrs with water & make natural pest repellent spray that you can use on plants not in the nightshade family. It helps with getting rid of aphids & their eggs & with several other garden pests.

I think this is a band-winged dragonlet (Erythrodiplax umbrata), perched on the tip of one of our obedience plants in the front garden yesterday evening.
This is the 2nd summer for my purple coneflowers. Last year it was about a 1/3 the size and this year is has already put on more blooms than all of last year.
Purple coneflower is a favorite of mine and a friend was kind enough to let me pull some out of his garden two years ago. That's my favorite way to garden: cheap/free and an early reward 👍.

The first ripe tomato harvest and some getting close.
Picked some orange cherry, and I spotted a Principe Borghese turning color, and the Flamme that will be orange will probably get picked this week.

In this handmade abstract watercolor painting, two oak leaves in warm orange and yellow fall colors dance in an autumn breeze that drifts and swirls them through the sky.
